The PSF is a hellhole where everyone tries to cancel each other. People like David Mertz and Steve Holden [1] who supported other cancellations were cancelled themselves. And of course Tim Peters for opposing other cancellations.
You are only secure in the corporate inner circle, just like in Ruby. Even there Google got tired of the antics and fired Python core developers.
You use the PSF to gain influence and get a high salary with minimal work, inside and outside Python.

- AlexeyBelov 2mo agoThe framing is wrong. Not even Tim Peters says it was a cancellation attempt or anything like that. Bans, especially temporary ones, are not cancellations. To be honest though, I think cancellation is a buzzword.
